ABIM to Study Assessment Options for Hospitalists

By: ABIM Blog

The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) has suspended the launch of the Hospital Medicine Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment (LKA) in 2023 in order to survey physicians and hospitalists to bring assessment offerings more in line with their practice. ABIM is conducting the poll with the Society of Hospital Medicine for dissemination mid-April. "We want to clarify the assessment options for physicians due for an assessment in 2023," the board explained. Clinicians who have previously participated in the Focused Practice in Hospital Medicine program and are presently maintaining that certification can take the traditional, 10-year maintenance of certification assessments in Hospital Medicine and Internal Medicine. They can also enroll in the Internal Medicine LKA in 2023 and switch to the inpatient focused version if/when it is made available in 2024. "If a physician chooses to take either Internal Medicine assessment they will first need to withdraw from the FPHM program, which will reinstate the Internal Medicine certification," ABIM advises.
